Morán Morán and Nicelle Beauchene Gallery are pleased to announce Astral Reflections, a new aquatint edition by Tunji Adeniyi-Jones produced in collaboration with Wingate Studio. Published in an edition of 30, Astral Reflections is a six plate aquatint etching with soft ground and spit bite on white Somerset Satin paper, and is the artist's first ever editioned etching. Astral Reflections synthesizes Tunji Adeniyi-Jones' exploration of the deified body: elongated, elegant figures that twist and dance in voluptuous contortions. Over the past several years, the artist has developed this iconic language of figuration to think through West African mythology, ceremony, and ritual. In Astral Reflections, nine of these figures expressively move through a fiery field of oranges and reds. Adeniyi-Jones' keen interest in the relationship of color, form, and pattern renders itself evident in this dynamic composition.
